Here's what our Shelter home offers
We’re more than an overnight shelter, we’re a place to belong morning, noon, and night.
Once you're here, you'll have access to:
- On-Site medical care provided in partnership with Terry Reilly Health Services and Full Circle Health
- Recovery and mental health support through Project Well Being and Project Recovery
- Three fresh, warm meals a day through Mercy Kitchen
- Job training and workforce programs offered on-site
- Laundry, library, mail room, and more
Our family suites are designed so parents and children can rest, connect, and breathe. Families have access to:
- Family suites where parents and children stay together
- An outdoor play area where kids can just be kids
- An early education classroom where littles have a space to learn, grow, and thrive
- A teen lounge where older kids can hang out, unwind, and find their people
- A family library where families can spend time together
Our single adult spaces are designed with one thing in mind: dignity. From the moment you walk in, you'll find a calm, trauma-informed environment built for rest and recovery. Single adults have access to:
- Comfortable sleeping dorms designed for quiet, rest, and care
- Private showers and bathrooms
